Hey, I'm Kaitlyn. I am a recent graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill with a double major in Dramatic Arts and Environmental Sciences. Moved to Philadelphia in July 2018. I really enjoy acting and singing, and hopefully I can make a living doing it. I've taken some pretty awesome drama intensive courses, and train vocally in classical and theatrical genres. One of my favorite things to do in the world is go to concerts/music festivals. And for the science side - I try to live a sustainable lifestyle and help save this earth we've taken for granted.

I want to adopt a pit bull, have lots of plants, and own a nice bicycle. I want to road-trip the USA because I have never been farther west than Wisconsin, and I want to travel to every continent. I want to learn to throw pottery, drive a manual car, be able to do a handstand, bartend, make sushi, ballroom dance...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to meet new and intriguing people and friends. Meeting new people in new places is a fantastic way to explore like a local.
